You need to understand how it wants to see the data, and how to transport it. Check the MFR website for any documentation on communication, and read up on it. Good luck on this one!

Would like to know of a good solution as I have made a couple of apps but without the ordering facility. I could create one using a html form generator but it requires a lot of time and logic, css etc. Just wanted to know if you knew a good solution?

I wanted to see if it is even possible right now, before I spend too much time designing an order form.
